Boil the potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, for 25 minutes until tender.
Drain the potatoes and let their steam escape for 10 minutes so the dough does not need too much flour.
Mash the potatoes, make a soft dough with flour and salt, and shape thick rolls.
Cut the rolls into diagonal pieces and dust their surfaces lightly with flour.
Boil the kopytka in salted boiling water for 2 minutes after they rise to the surface.
Drain the kopytka and turn them in butter for 3 minutes, lightly browning the edges.
Remove them from the pan once the buttered surface browns, so the potato dough does not become heavy and fall apart.
💡 Tip: Cooling the potatoes completely before mashing reduces the need to add unnecessary extra flour to the dough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with butter and dill on top.
